Kershaw County's chance to have an unprecedented three of its volleyball teams all playing their way into the South Carolina High School League state championship was erased when both North Central and Lugoff-Elgin lost their matches on Monday and Tuesday nights, respectively.

Thanks to Hurricane Matthews and the cleanup thereafter, the South Carolina High School League's state playoffs for volleyball and girls' tennis will kick off this week, a week later than originally planned.

His right arm tucked in a sling due to a hand injury sustained in the opening minutes of North Central's 48-12 loss to Cheraw on Oct. 6, Cedrick Cunningham was hardly ready to play in tonight's game at Chesterfield.
